Musicscan: why did you especially choose the winter time to go on tour? it's not as comfortable as a summer-tour...

25 Ta Life: we wanted to hook everyone up with an early christmas present ha ha

Musicscan: how did it happen that right 4 live are chosen to do a tour with 25 ta life?

25 Ta Life: 25/rfl have been boys for years this tour has been in the works for
years

Musicscan: what do you like about right for life and their ny hardcore style?

25 Ta Life: like 25 /.rfl are tried and remain true weve both paid our dues over
and over again both dedicated to the hardcore scene both proud hardcore
bands ,im very happy to share the stage with them ,, like in the past

Musicscan: you surely have your expactations for this tour to come. tell me a bit
about it, please.

25 Ta Life: hey its a chance to do more traveling spend more time with our friends band
ya know check out some new bands meet some old and new friends ,, and
spread the hardcore lifestyle message ,, the struggle with be right in
your face
smacking you with reality

Musicscan: 25 ta life and right for life as well seem to be very busy concerning touring this year. am i right?
what does being on tour mean to you?

25 Ta Life: keeping active spreading our message thats what a band does

Musicscan: what is it like to play your songs in front of a crowd?

25 Ta Life: its a great release a great way to vent our frustatration ,, its either
be in a bamnd of fucking kill someone and go to jail ya know

Musicscan: does it make a difference to your appereance on stage if there are only a
few people showing up to see you?

25 Ta Life: hey wether its 5 or 10 people , 500 to 1000, we always try and give it
our best ,, we played a few practices on stage before ya know who hasnt
,,damn those fuckin promotors do it yourself ,, ha ha

Musicscan: i sometimes think there is again some kind of u-turn into old school
hardcore these days. i mean those modern
bands like terror, give up the ghost or champion are very popular at the
moment. is it easier for more traditional
hardcore bands to find their listeners?

25 Ta Life: hey to each there own ,, remember its all about
there five letters unity

Musicscan: right for life as well as 25 ta life are known for their good live shows?
is this something that challenges you?

25 Ta Life: sometimes waking up early is a challenge ,, but hey who doesnt love a
challenge

Musicscan: is there something you want the people to leave your shows with?

25 Ta Life: yes a split lip or a broken eye ha ha im kidding ,hopefully they will leave the show ,and be able to handle a few
more days of
life ya know, and hopefully want to get involved and do something to
keep
the scene alive, start a band help book a show anything to help keep
it alive

Musicscan: what was the weirdest thing a fan has ever done during a live gig you
played?

25 Ta Life: the crazy illest shit yo ,, once we had these 2 girls , flashing us in
poland they kept showing us there tits ,kissing each other fondling each
other and they told our tour manager they would sleep with him for a 25
ta life
shirt ha ha dirty whores who doesnt lovem ,,that was funny,,
then we just toured cali, nov 2003. and we had these 2 girls it was there
birthdays and they kept telling us they love anal sex ,, our boys in
doomsday
device had a huge tour bus which i called it the bus on sin ,, which had
a huge bed in the back of the bus it was crazy ,ill shit went on ,, we
played this bar and it was all old rocker ladies from the 80s ,, on sunset
blvd in the strip they thought we were motley crue of winger and they
were
thrashing why we played flashing us ,,the crazy ness then once we
played
this show in europe and we did crucified and we had like 20 nazis saluting
us thats always fun , then theres times when we do the iron cross
turned a/f
classic .crucified and girls and emo kids bring me flowers so i mean
theres been moments , those walmarkt kodak moments, ya know

Musicscan: it looks like both bands are very experienced with tough situations.
like "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
am i right? what's your attitude towards this whole hardcore-thing?

25 Ta Life: Its like biohazard said on the new records dawgs its kill or be killed. hatebreed wrote it perserverence. 50
cent said yo if you fuck with me Im a kill you. Dmx said a yo what comes out your mouth will get you shot down, and I
saying we re a hardcore band and its fucking hard. Yo seriously fellas we have a new cd out. best of friends/enemies
as well as a new cd out late 2003 called haterz be damned its 21 songs old, new and rare tracks, so keep an eye out for that as well as the new btb site www.backtabasics.com and the new releases.

Musicscan: something you would like to mention?

25 Ta Life: thank you for your support guys well see you on tour. bring your sisters to the shows. thanks.
